Two Negro Boys Arrested on the Charge
of Theft.
Special to the Gazette.
TYLER, Tex, June 27.-To-dsy two
negro boys, Jim Reed and Nose Ballard,
were brought N from Wills Point where
they had been arrested on charge of
theft ten days ago. Jim Reed acted as
waiting boy for Mr.. Oscar Mcfarland of
this city, who for some time during Jim's
service in that capacity had been missing
articles from his trunk, among which was
about SIS. He suspected jim, and set q
trap for him by so arranging pistol that
when the trunk was opened except in 8
particular way the pistol would fire.
Shortly afterwards he was on the street
near his room when he heard loud
report in the direction of his room,
and on going there found Jim, so
frightened that he admitted having stolen
the money, but claimed that he had dis
posed of it. Mcfarland did not then
have him arrested, but Swallowed him for
time in the hope of regaining his moDsy'
in that way. Jim and Nose, who is
thought to be his accomplish, escaped,
but overlooking the convenience of tele
grsphy, were arrested yesterday as above
stated.
Over 100 farmers are in attendance
upon the Commissioners court to-day.

The State Closes las Testimony and the
Defense il Reviewed.
NEW YORK, June 27.-Jake Sharp tot
tered into court this morning looking
weird and wan. The reason for this was
that he passed terrible night, getting
but little sleep. Senate Stenographer
Carroll was recalled TO the stand, while
the balance OF the testimony of Sharp be-
fore the Senate committee was read BY
Mr.. Nicoll. He finished reading the tes-
timoDy at IL IL O'Clock and the peopl.
rested their case. Parsons said before he
proceeded 10 open for the defense he had
TWO motions to make that he desired to
appear on the record.
First, to ask the prosecution TO elect
whether it would stand upon that part of
the indictment charging an agreement to
BRIDE tuilgraf, or that part alleging that
he was in fact bribed by Saarp. The mo-
ton was denied.
Second, that the court advise the Jury
TO acquit the defendant, a the case now
stands under section 40 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure. This motion was
also denied and exception was taken.
Parsons then opened.
only duty is simply to state the de-
fendsut's case and review the testimony
before you cit is the great embarra ssment
of the defense in every case that the
prosecution has the riTht TO pu. its case
and make impressions that may find Io1g-
ment in the Jurors mind that are difficult
TO remove. nay as vel
say here what l snail have to say here
after, that the large mass of evidence
known by all men which
has been introduced by the prose
cution has made no case.
might recite Mr.. SharD's transactions, Gs
did the learned District Attorney, from
the beginning, to prove to you Mr..
Slarp's innocence, but that would take
too much of your time l will simply re-
view some of the evidence. No evidence
has been produced of the direct implies
ton of Mr.. Sharp in this alleged bribery,
and the prosecution acknowledges its IN
ability to so CORE CT them. 1t simply
claims that there are circumstances which
point TO his guilt and prove it, as it says"
Mr.. Parsons dweit upon the fact thai
the jury had gone into the box with
opinion against Mr.. Sharp, but neverthe-
less the defendant had the right to eX-
peCt that they would do what they ha1
sworn to do, "to find verdict accord
ing to evidence" He said "YOu re
member that you are not trying Pearson,
Miller or any of the twenty-five indicted
aldermen. You are trying Jacob Sharpe
for debauching Alderman FuIlgraf, and it
is charged that he was the rich cOnspira-
tor, principal and agent of this action"

Great Damage From water.

special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, June 27.-At u O'Clock
fire was discovered in the rear of the
buildings on the corner of Main and
Murphy streets, owned by King & Cam
eron, and occupied by Rsinhart & Co &,
clothiers, and next door by Lewis Bros,
shoe dealers. 1t originated among goods
boxes in the back yard, and the flames
rapidly licked up to the windows Of the
second and third stories and communi-
mated to the goods above. The fire was
quickly subdued, but the water thrown
into the upper stories came down below
in flooding sheets, wetting every article
in both buildings. The damage to the
building is nominal. The damage TO
the goods, from water, is enor-
nous, as Reiuhart & Co. and Lewis
Bros. are among the largest dealers in
their lines. The amount of goods damaged
is something like $3.50, 900, fairly well
insured in various companies. The Texas
Baptist Publishing House and Texas Bsp-
fist ana Herald occupied rooms over
Reinhart & Co., and their damage to stock
and fixtures is considerable. The exact
estimate of loss cannot be made until
stocks are gone through. The fire Is sup
posed to be accidental.
